{After "Dear awesome", Strong Bad inserts, "Oh! Somebody finally got it right!"; at the first ellipsis, he adds, "Oh, you mean like, Red iculous?" and a red crayon that says "Red iculous" appears; and after "Laser lemon", he repeats suprisedly "Laser lemon?!" He picks up a phone and says, "The Cheat, halt production immediately!" Cut to the garage, where The Cheat is working on a laser with lemons on it.}
STRONG BAD: {over the PA} Crayola beat us to the punch! Let's shift focus to Laser Limes! {The Cheat looks annoyed} Or maybe just laser beams!
THE CHEAT: Okay.
{Cut back to the Lappy, where Strong Bad resumes reading the email. He reads "Andover,MN" as "And over, and over, and over, M N."}
STRONG BAD: Ter? What is that, short for Terbert? Or Terlliam? Or Terthew? {clears screen} Welter, the crayons of my youth had pretty awesome names. Especially the ones that came with my Limozeen 1989 "Ladies, We're Staying in Room 302 at the Ramada" tour coloring book! {cut to a view of this coloring book, which has a drawing of two members of Limozeen on the cover.} There was Leather Black {a black crayon saying "Leather Black" appears}, Ripped Denim Blue {a blue crayon saying "Ripped Denim Blue" appears}, Groupie Lipstick Red, {a red crayon saying "Groupie Lipstick Red" appears} Skin Flesh! {A pink crayon saying "Skin Flesh" appears.} Hairspray Blond! {A yellow crayon saying "Hairspray Blond" appears.} And Tight Shiny Purple. {A purple crayon saying "Tight Shiny Purple" appears.} It even came with a cassette tape with a song about how to color! {a yellow cassette tape saying "Colorin' (Outside the Lines)" appears.}
{Change to a view of the first page of the coloring book, which shows Larry and Gary performing. Below this is the text "Gary and Larry rehearse their moves".}
LARRY: {singing} Grab a box of sixty-four, {changes to the next page, which shows Limozeen with the text "We are in a band called Limozeen!"} with a shotgun a built right in, {change to next page, which shows Larry with two women; Larry's face has been coloured like Strong Bad's, and his hands have been drawn to look like red boxing gloves; the test says "Larry Strong Bad always serenades the 'of-age' ladies after the show"} {Larry sings high notes; lyrics incomprehensible} {change to next page, which shows a drummer with a face drawn on his abdomen; the text says, "Drummers almost never wear shirts while playing a big show."} and let the party begin!
{Change to next page, which shows Gary leaping into the air whilst playing the guitar; he has been colored to wear a Los Angeles Lakers uniform and hold a basketball, a basketball hoop and defending player have also been drawn in. The text reads "Gary's playing some "air" guitar. Get it?"}
LIMOZEEN: Colorin'!
LARRY: Outside the lines!
{The next page shows Perry with Teeg Dougland, who is running sound, the text reads "Producer/ manager/ roadie Teeg Dougland shows Perry how to tweak the reverb."}
LIMOZEEN: Colorin'!
LARRY: Inside your heart!
{The next page shows Larry and one other band member, who is wearing a bear mask; the text reads "'That bear mask has GOT to go!!!' shouts Larry."}
LIMOZEEN: Colorin'!
LARRY: With crayons of wine!
{The next page shows Mary and Larry barbecueing; a large, vicious-looking hot dog has been drawn standing behind them; The Cheat has been drawn peeking from around the barbecue. The text reads, "Back home from the road, Mary and Larry say, 'It's Grilla Time!'"}
LIMOZEEN: Colorin'!
LARRY: Hey, hey, with a {incomprehensible} start!
{The last page shows Larry and two other members performing, this page is not colored. The text reads, "Larry is screaming like a demon. And the other two are playing guitars."}
STRONG BAD: Whoa, looks like I missed one! As much as I respect you guys as artists, it's time to melt your faces off. {Strong Bad uses the Skin Flesh crayon to draw on Larry's face; the crayon breaks.} Aww, crudcrap! My Skin Flesh broke! {cut to a view of Strong Bad at his table holding the broken crayon} How'm I gonna get another one of these at this hour? Ooh, wait! I bet Marzipan's teaching her kindergarten class down at the Monte-sodium school! Those kids eat crayons like they were paste!
{Cut to Marzipan in the Classroom; the blackboard reads "SOY IS ALSO MURDER"}
MARZIPAN: So that way, you always feel guilty! {Enter Strong Bad}
STRONG BAD: Hey, goody Marzipan. Can I borrow some crayons? I broke my Skin Flesh!
MARZIPAN: {Looks aghast, then angry.} Shhh! Strong Bad, not in front of the class!"
{Cut to a view of the class, which consists of Homsar, Strong Mad and Homestar Runner wearing yellow shirts. Homsar has a stack of blocks on his desk that reads "TURD".}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Teacher! I hafta go bafroom!
{cut back to Marzipan and Strong Bad}
STRONG BAD: Why can't I say "Skin Flesh" in front of the— uh, children?
MARZIPAN: First of all, we don't call them children. They're "life blossoms"!
STRONG BAD: Life blossoms?!

Fun Facts
Remarks
- The Lappy's "toe" seems to be back, as it isn't missing throughout the email.
- The letter blocks on Homsar's desk spell "TURD" another instance of swearing.
- The cards above the chalkboard read "4, 13, (, I), 3, I=, 6, #, 1" which is supposed to look like the alphabet characters A-I.
- The Chalkboard says "SOY IS MURDER" which is odd compared to her personality and her being of a vegetarian.
- Homestar leaving to go read "pie pie comics" may mean he left to go read some pop eye comics
- This is the first/closest The cheat has gotten to saying a word in English outside of his powered by the cheat cartoons
